    I've been away for awhile, and look at all the neat machines I've been missing! Here's the favorite of mine, just as I received her from a Craigslist seller a while back. It's a Lotus 66 treadle with the peculiar serial number Y666666, and she sews well.

    I enjoy all of the patterns on these machines and have always liked this one. Congratulations.

    Hello,
    I recently brought home a Pfaff 38-115 treadle sewing machine. Wondering if any one has information on it??
    It works flawlessly! Has everything I could have dreamt of(the side drawer if FULL!!!)! I've done a ton of cleaning on it, its pretty worn but I'm okay with that I'm just happy she works like a beast!

    It’s the first one of those that I’ve seen. It looks like a really neat early zigzag machine, and by looking at the large hand wheel, I’d say it’s been a treadle-operated machine all of its life. It’s got plenty of tensioners on it, don’t it?

    I’m still looking for my first old zigzag industrial that I can treadle.

    Beautiful machine, worn or not! Are those hard to treadle? Like a real leg workout or?

    Those are gorgeous! I've never seen the yellow flowered one. It has now become my favorite!!! I never find them unless they are crazy expensive or "boat anchors" as I've heard someone describe them. Still excited about seeing what I can do with them! So jealous of all these beauties!
